I'm helping a friend with his project truck that hasn't moved under it's own power in 10 years. We fix something and up pops a couple more problem areas.. Finally came to a quitting spot so I can follow up with you....
The correct term is "dimmer switch".. Let's use the correct terminology so others will know what component you're talking about.. Failure of the floor mounted dimmer switch is pretty common in old vehicles.. The switch is "trapped" under carpet, moisture seeps in and corrosion soon takes over.. Clean the plug terminals, replace the dimmer switch and you should have high and low beams working.. BTW, you're getting pretty good at electrical trouble shooting.. Just work on learning the correct terms for the components.. You'll find the correct terms on the wiring diagram...
